After Admin Tools 7.2.0 update, the Cache clean-up task stopped to work and displayed a black runner icon (lazy scheduler or cron modes).
How to reproduce ?
Remove all tasks from the scheduler and empty the trash.
Create a new Cache clean-up task (expire or delete).
Click on Run Test
The first time, the following message is displayed:
Status: Terminated
Output:
An error has occurred while fetching the JSON data: HTTP 500 status code. Internal Server Error
Thanks a lot.
Ah, that's because Joomla 4.2 has replaced $this->app with $this->getApplication() in plugins. Yeah, I had reported to the project that this kind of change without a fallback in a magic __get would cause exactly this kind of problem because it's really hard finding all instances of this code across all plugins in a developer's portfolio without false positives or false negatives. Well, it looks like I was right. Sigh…
Please install this dev release https://www.akeeba.com/download/admin-tools-professional/7-2-1-dev202212150737-rev6d5bf651.html and let me know if it fixes this issue for you as I see it does for me. If I can get confirmation I'll make a bug fix release tomorrow. I consider broken automation to be a high priority issue which warrants an emergency release.
Thank you in advance and thank you again for your issue report!

Thanks Nicholas for your new release. It has perfectly solved this issue.
I will restart the lazy scheduler in order to see if everything goes back to normal, because all other Admin Tools tasks were halted as well.
Thank you for the feedback!

I can confirm that the tasks I tested have all resumed with lazy scheduler or cron jobs.
If the black icon was displayed, I recreated the tasks from scratch in order to make it work.
Without the black icon (tasks disabled) or from a previous version of Admin Tools, it seems the tasks could resume by themselves.
Thanks again for your excellent extension and support.

You're welcome!
BTW, the little black running person icon works like “Checked Out” in articles. If you click it, the running condition gets reset and the icon disappears. Nothing's really documented about Scheduled Tasks which is a shame. It's such a cool feature!

Oh, thanks, good to know. Why didn't they use any padlock icon ? I would have understood its purpose right away.
Have a great day !
